Karl Denver (16 December 1931 – 21 December 1998) was a Scottish singer, who, with his trio had a series of UK hit singles in the early 1960s. Most famous of these was a 1961 version of 'Wimoweh', which showed off Denver's falsetto yodelling register. On February 6th, 1952, just as “Wimoweh” made its chart debut, he stepped up to a mike before the House Un-American Affairs Committee and told one of the looniest tales of the entire McCarthy era.

From African Playground:
Does this song sound familiar? Most people know this as 'The Lion Sleeps
Tonight,' which is a popular song around the world. It is based on a song in the Zulu Language from South Africa that was written in 1939 by a musician named Solomon Linda. Someone in America [Pete Seeger] heard it and decided to write English words.
It became a worldwide hit.
The Zulu word for lion is 'imbube.' To call to a lion you say 'mbube.' We're not sure why you would want to call a lion. Usually you want them to go away from you! South Africa is home to many lions, as well as other wildlife.
